Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pang Tingting, how do you want me to help you? Ye Lengan rested her chin on one hand and held her phone in the other. She looked lazy, and her words carried a hint of laziness. You should be very clear about the principle of equivalent exchange, right? To get something, you must pay the corresponding price.
Obviously, Pang Tingting knew something. However, she had been hiding it all this time, probably planning to use it as a bargaining chip. However, even if Pang Tingting had a bargaining chip, Ye Lengan was not in a hurry. She knew very clearly that the one who rushed would lose the advantage.
Moreover, although she was very curious about her parentage, she had always maintained a natural and carefree att.i.tude. Right now, she was curious about her family, but she didnt have an intense desire to know. After enduring the pa.s.sage of so many years, her longing for family ties had long since dissipated.
After hearing Ye Lengans words, Pang Tingting on the other end of the phone fell into a moment of silence. Initially, she had thought that the leverage she held was significant. However, now, after hearing Ye Lengans tone, she started to feel uncertain.
After a long while, Pang Tingting finally spoke again, Ye Lengan, didnt you ask me why 1 chose you before? Now that you know youre not the biological daughter of Ye Li and Lin Wanqin, arent you the least bit curious about your origins?
Yes, Im curious! Ye Lengan smiled and continued, But so what? Although Im curious, its not a burning desire to know. Also, I can be certain that although you know some things, you dont know everything. At the very least, you dont know my parentage.
If Pang Tingting really knew about her parentage, she wouldnt have spoken so humbly. She would have likely been more direct and a.s.sertive in her communication.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Lengans words, Pang Tingting fell silent again. Finally, she said, Thats right, Ye Lengan. I do not know your parentage, but I have something in my hand that should be related to your parentage. Dont you want it?
Since the conversation had reached this point, there was no reason for her to keep any secrets. She laid all her cards on the table. She was well aware that if she didnt have enough to pique Ye Lengans interest, there was no way Ye Lengan would a.s.sist her.
The Ye family was not considered a large family in the capital, but because of Young Master Nangongs att.i.tude toward Ye Xiyuan, everyone had to show some deference to the Ye family. It was also because of this that it was now almost impossible for her to move freely in the capital.
The only person who could help her now was Ye Lengan. Of course, this was not because Ye Lengan was very powerful, but because she had the support of the young master of the Huangfu family behind her.
After hearing Pang Tingtings words, a trace of darkness flashed in Ye Lengans eyes. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, Pang Tingting, are you sure the information you have is genuine?
If the thing in Pang Tingtings hand was really related to her parentage, she wouldnt mind giving her a helping hand.
l can guarantee its absolutely genuine, Pang Tingting anxiously said in response to Ye Lengans doubt. Ye Lengan, things have come to this point. I have no need to lie to you, right? Besides, Ive already offended the Ye family. I dont want you as an enemy anymore.
Very well, Ye Lengan said in a deep voice, Tomorrow morning at 10, at the same cafe as last time. Lets meet and talk then.
Alright, Pang Tingting immediately agreed upon hearing Ye Lengans words. Ill definitely be there on time.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lengan fell into deep thought and didnt even notice Huangfu Ruilings arrival.
What are you thinking about so intently? Huangfu Ruiling extended his hand and lightly tapped the forehead of Ye Lengan. His tone carried a hint of indulgence. l sat down next to you and you didnt even notice, you were that absorbed in your thoughts.
Oh, youre here! Ye Lengan seemed to wake up from a dream and smiled embarra.s.sedly, l just received a call and found out some things, so I got a bit lost in thought and didnt notice for a moment.
After speaking, Ye Lengan told him everything about Pang Tingtings call.
Now that she and Huangfu Ruiling were a couple, she didnt feel like she needed to hide such things from him. So, without waiting for Huangfu Ruiling to inquire, she spoke up on her own.
After finis.h.i.+ng speaking, Ye Lengan frowned and continued, Why do I feel like my parentage is really mysterious? Tell me, what kind of people do you think are my family?
Dont think too much about it. Huangfu Ruiling reached out and ruffled Ye Lengans hair, then smiled and said, When the time comes, youll definitely know everything. Or are you that eager to know your parentage now?
Actually, he had already sent people to help investigate Ye Lengans background, but there had been no progress. So he didnt tell Ye Lengan about it, afraid she would be disappointed.
Although Im curious, Im not in a hurry to know everything. Ye Lengan smiled and shook her head. Besides, Ive already grown up, and Ive long pa.s.sed the stage where I needed family ties. Now, the pursuit of my parentage is just about finding an answer.
She just wanted to know if she had been intentionally abandoned, accidentally stolen away, or for some other reason ended up being lost and alone.
However, she felt that even if she found her family, she might not be that excited. She was already used to living alone. Well, now there was Huangfu Ruiling. However, she did not need her family to interfere in her life.
Huangfu Ruiling smiled gently and said, If thats the case, then dont rush it. You can take it slowly! After meeting Pang Tingting tomorrow and getting that information related to your parentage from her, Ill help you investigate further!
Okay. Ye Lengan nodded in agreement.
After saying this, the two of them ordered food.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Lengan and suddenly said, Now that weve talked about your parentage, shouldnt we talk about whats going on between us?
Huh? Huangfu Ruilings sudden words left Ye Lengan stunned.. What are you talking about? What could be going on between us?
